Sony Regulates Unofficial Remixes On All Music Platforms
MixBANK

Sony Entertainment is taking their music production to the next level, allowing royalties for artists to become more common with the 21st century of music production and mixing. With social media platforms from Facebook to Mixcloud, there are millions of musicians and DJ's that are using remixed samples of songs to devise new sounds. Quoted on Dubset's web page, Mark Ronson states, "We live in the post sampling era, we take things we love and build on them." This is exactly what the music era has created through various social media platforms. In order to allow artists to get the correct amount of royalties for pieces of work they created, Dubset has created MixBANK.

MixBANK is a platform created to merge the marketplace between artists, DJ's, labels, producers, and publishers so they are able to all earn royalties on the music that is being played online. The Dubset CEO Stephen White stated in TechCrunch , "700 million people are listening to mixed content every month… If rights holders don’t embrace a platform like us, the content is going to flow anyway and it’s going to flow around them." This means that money could have been earned for all the cultivators for each "play" on each platform. With new licensing agreements and some incredible technology, Dubset has created MixBANK, a way for each artist to create and build, while also being able to receive credit and earn together.

According to Dubset's website, "Our platform provides rights holders with new royalties, content control, full transparency, and unique usage reports." This will not only allow artists to create music in an entirely new manner, it will also allow unofficial music a chance to be streamed on platforms such as Apple, and Spotify, which would have initially been removed due to Copyright infringement. According to Dubset, "MixBANK dashboard provides fully transparent distribution & reporting. Our users have access to royalty data, analytics, and a set of tools that allow DJs, rights holders, and music services complete control of how, when, and where content is distributed."

While this may not be ideal for Soundcloud and Mixcloud, which have their own unique way of distributing unofficial remixes, but it will open up new doors to the way music is being listened to currently, allowing for DJ's to receive more transparency for their remixes. Sony, being one of the leading record labels, and music production lines will be revolutionizing the world of music one mix at a time. It is only a matter of time until the world of music production falls behind their lead.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
